Thanks
Air France will not upgrade you to business class or first class, even if seats are open. On the flipside, if you are in Paris awaiting a seat on a Delta flight, the AF agents will put you in a middle seat in coach and their own people in Delta One, on our equipment. I've written it up many times. Guess what the response always is? "There's nothing we can do". Of course, Delta could pretend to G.A.S. about their own employees, but why should they, when all the managers fly around on P.S. Business? Shut up and row! Maybe I should ask the union if there's anything they can do... lolololol!!!! Right...

Do you have proof of this as in screen shots? Having non-reved out of Europe many times I've never seen this happen so it's curious.

Re: DH

What is the latest technique for adding yourself to the standby list for Comfort+? I see a "request upgrade" but it only lists First Class. It's happened 3 times in the past month.

S2 always trumps S3 regardless of seniority!

question for UK travelers on cell phone use there: My son is going to London over NewYears for 7 days. He has an iPhone 4S with Sprint. Anyone know what needs to be done for him to use it there? He really only needs to do texts. I had thought to just have him log into WiFi networks there, and use Skype, iMessage, and FaceTime to text us or call us... Thought some of you guys would be able to give me the better answer than wading through Sprint customer support and reading a zillion pages and having them try to sell me an iPhone X every other sentence... Thanks! RK

Lately, when I select “request upgrade” it gives me three choices like first only, first or any comfort plus, and lastly first or window/aisle only comfort plus.

Lately it's only given me the "First" box to check. I must be on a naughty list.

I’ve noticed the same thing. 24 hours prior to departure, however, when you check in you can click on “change seat” and if there are any comfort plus seats available you can select one.

I’ve also noticed when checking in for a deadhead the first class upgrade request is already made.
